Proxies for Shopee and Lazada Singapore — prices, competitors and running your store
In this article
Selling into Singapore through Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop opens a market with strong buying power, but there's a catch: from abroad you don't see the marketplace the way Singapore buyers do. Displayed prices, shipping fees, search rankings, in-marketplace ads — they all differ by region. This guide covers who needs a Singapore IP when selling, how to use a proxy to see the marketplace and track competitors, and what not to do.
Who needs a Singapore IP when selling online?
- Sellers abroad selling into Singapore, through a marketplace's cross-border programme or a store registered in Singapore.
- Brands with a Singapore store run day to day by a team in another country.
- Market researchers checking prices and best sellers in Singapore before sourcing stock or opening a store.
If you only sell on your home marketplace to local buyers, you don't need a Singapore IP.
See the marketplace as Singapore buyers do
With a browser profile on a Singapore 4G proxy (set up as in adding a proxy to antidetect browsers), you can check:
- Search rankings: search your product's main keywords on the Singapore marketplace and see where you stand against competitors.
- Prices and promotions: SGD prices, vouchers and marketplace campaigns that Singapore buyers see.
- Shipping fees and delivery times: what buyers weigh up before ordering.
- In-marketplace ads: which products are advertised on your keywords.
Look logged out or with a separate buyer account, so the results aren't personalised to your seller account.
Tracking prices and competitors
- Check by hand on a schedule: once a week, note the prices and rankings of a few main competitors — enough for most small sellers.
- Track automatically: if you need many products several times a day, do it at a reasonable rate and within the marketplace's terms — the principles are in proxies for web scraping.
- Use official tools where they exist: some marketplaces offer seller analytics and partner programmes with legitimate data.
Logging into your store steadily
- One consistent login location: a Singapore store should log in from the same Singapore IP and the same browser profile.
- A sub-account per staff member where the marketplace supports it, rather than sharing the owner's password.
- Turn on two-factor authentication and keep the recovery phone and email reachable.
- Don't rotate the IP during important actions such as withdrawals, changing bank details or bulk product updates.
What to avoid
- Multiple stores against the rules: many marketplaces limit stores per seller; a proxy doesn't make breaking that rule acceptable.
- Fake reviews and buying your own products: against marketplace policy and corrosive to buyers' trust.
- Scraping too fast: it overloads the marketplace and can get your IPs and accounts blocked.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Singapore proxy to sell on my home marketplace?
No. For your home market, connecting from home is the most natural. A Singapore IP only helps when you work on the Singapore market.
Do I need a proxy for in-marketplace ads in Singapore?
Not to manage campaigns; but to check how your ads look to Singapore buyers, a proxy helps. See also proxies for ads.
Can one proxy serve several stores?
If the stores belong to one business, sharing an office IP is normal. If they belong to different clients, give each client their own proxy.
